A Review of Pumped Hydro Energy Storage: The OG Grid Battery That's Making a Comeback
Let's get real - when someone says "energy storage," you probably picture sleek lithium-ion batteries or futuristic hydrogen tanks. But what if I told you that 94% of the world's energy storage capacity comes from a 19th-century technology that moves water between two reservoirs? That's right, pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is like the Keith Richards of energy solutions - older than your smartphone but still rocking harder than most newcomers.
